Expert care for tonsillitis, voice disorders, snoring, sleep apnea, and swallowing problems. Dr. Surabhi provides comprehensive throat evaluations using endoscopic visualization.
Inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis) or adenoids is common in children and adults. Recurrent infections or obstruction may require surgical removal.
Common Symptoms
Treatment Approach
Antibiotics for bacterial tonsillitis. Recurrent cases or obstructive adenoids may require tonsillectomy / adenoidectomy.
Voice changes, hoarseness, or voice loss can result from vocal cord nodules, polyps, laryngitis, or overuse. A laryngoscopy provides direct visualization.
Common Symptoms
Treatment Approach
Voice rest, speech therapy, medical management, or microlaryngoscopy for vocal cord lesions.
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can significantly impact quality of life and health. ENT evaluation identifies the site of obstruction.
Common Symptoms
Treatment Approach
Lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, and surgery (tonsillectomy, UPPP, turbinate reduction) based on the obstruction site.
Bacterial and viral throat infections (pharyngitis, laryngitis) are very common. Proper diagnosis avoids unnecessary antibiotic use.
Common Symptoms
Treatment Approach
Rest, hydration, pain relief, and antibiotics only for confirmed bacterial infections (e.g., Group A Strep).
Swallowing difficulty can arise from structural, neurological, or muscular causes. A thorough ENT assessment including flexible laryngoscopy is important.
Common Symptoms
Treatment Approach
Depends on the cause — may include dietary modifications, swallowing therapy, medications, or endoscopic procedures.
Surgical Interventions
Treatment for voice, swallowing, and airway disorders. Procedures are tailored to the patient's specific condition, age, and health status to ensure the most effective treatment.
Tonsillectomy involves the removal of the tonsils — lymphoid tissues at the back of the throat. It is commonly recommended for patients with recurrent tonsillitis, sleep apnea, or obstructive sleep disorders. Adenoidectomy removes adenoid tissue located behind the nose and is often performed alongside tonsillectomy. Both are among the most frequently performed ENT surgeries, especially in children with chronic inflammation or recurrent infections.
Key Details
Tracheostomy creates an alternative airway in the throat for patients experiencing difficulty breathing. A small opening is made in the front of the neck into the trachea (windpipe), through which a tube is placed to allow air to reach the lungs directly. This procedure may be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying condition requiring intervention.
